My question involves paternity law for the State of: California
I was married in 1976. Children were born in 1976 and 1982. My wife and I were in separate states when the children were conceived, so I have no question about paternity. No paternity tests were done when I was divorced in 1988. Child support orders were instituted at the time of the divorce.
I currently owe $225,000 in back child support. The children are ages 36 and 30. The county in CA has attached my Social Security for in excess of $700 monthly, which I need to live. Does a paternity check provide me any leverage to convince the county to lower my child support garnishment against my Social security payments? Any other ideas to help?
